I’ve been rocking with John Legend since he came through with “Get Lifted” back in 2004 – and he keeps giving me reasons to stay on board. Thursday night he put on a show fit for Busch Stadium at The Fox with his “Lightness and Dark” tour. I know it’s only June, but it’s going to take a whole lot to top him for my favorite concert of the year. The show was so good that I forgave the hassle of the metal detectors and lightweight TSA pat down he put me through. It was his request – I’m guessing because of the Ariana Grande concert tragedy. The opening act was scooting across the stage as I got to my seat – and I arrived at the door 30 minutes early. Gallant was giving me a cross between Seal and Miguel after they downed a whole case of Red Bulls. My neck hurt watching him sprint across the stage, but he had a nice voice. John Legend gave us old and new hits and a seamless, timeless manner that has me ready to call him one of the greatest of our generation if we are judging on live show and album quality combined.
